But there is no profit to be made with Android. Samsung is the only company that has been able to do OK. And even with their dominance of the market they are developing their own OS, Tizen, because they are not happy with the margins.
Windows Phone is not dead yet. My wife's Icon runs circles around my Galaxy S5 in terms of a smooth, fast, and pleasant user experience. Microsoft's biggest issue is that they have not developed it fast enough. Great ideas undercooked.
